ENERGY SAVING TIPS

- Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.

THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS LOCATION.

The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep column units, the most common installation setting for this appliance.

- Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator temperature to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegetables and cheese.

- Do not Overfill

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air circulation and overwork the compressor.

- Keep the Door Closed

Open your doors only when necessary, remember that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To bring bring the temperature back to the proper level, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy.

- Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they fit tightly against the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the temperature significantly, allow food to cool to room temperature before storing.

- Check you appliance for build up of ice

Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and immediately defrost it if the layer becomes too thick. (see CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE).

BUZZERS AND VISUAL WARNINGS

Door open alarm

Should the refrigerator door be left open for more than two minutes, the light inside the compartment will begin to flash; after a few seconds, an alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence this buzzer, just shut the door or press the SELECT button "D". Should the door remain open for more than 4 minutes, the light will flash more rapidly.

Abnormal freezer heating alarm

1.To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g. momentary power failure), a buzzer will sound and a message comes up on the display (A1) to signal the dangerous heating of the compartment. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a tempe- rature of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hours or to cook it and then refreeze them. You can turn the buzzer off simply by pressing the SELECT button "D".

To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance ON/OFF knob "B".

2.If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again and another message (A2) will come up on the display to signal the dangerous state of overheating. We recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it away. In all cases, food should not be refrozen unless you cook it first. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature of 0°C. The buzzer can be turned off by simply pressing the SELECT button "D". To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance ON/OFF knob "B".
